If you know me well, you know I LOVE to make gift sets. I love how one thing just leads to another. These awesome images are new releases from The Cutting Cafe. The card is for Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge (SC237) and uses the new Cutting Cafe release Social Butterfly. You've got to go and see how many awesome images are in this set!!
The box is the largest one of 3 (!) Nesting Boxes, also a new release and sooooo easy to print out, cut out and put together. This box is big enough to hold lots of candy, jewelry, small cookies, cosmetics and more for a quick simple gift. Some of the ladies on the Design Team have made them in stacks of all 3 boxes. What a great gift idea!!
For my card, I printed out just this image in black and in red. I cut out the red butterflies and used a bit of Mono-Multi to stick them to the black image, then added some stick on pearls. I sponged the background in Versafine black. Don't you love that black and white dotted layer on the box and on the card? It's actually 1-1/2" satin ribbon that I had left over from another project. I just put a layer of 1-1/2" Scor-Tape down the back for a nice smooth application on the box base and on my card. I colored the leaves and stems with Prismacolor pencils and a blender pen.
I'd love to know what you think of these new releases and if you've read this far.....I have a treat for you! Regina at The Cutting Cafe IS ALLOWING ME TO GIVE AWAY THESE TWO SETS!! Yep, BOTH OF THEM!! JUST LEAVE A COMMENT HERE ON MY BLOG TELLING ME WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT THE CUTTING CAFE. That's it!
